Have you tried 88-98 Chevy 1/2 ton front rotors?
s-10's are 5x 4-3/4"
Boats and hoes
Stumble in to the liquor store
With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
is there a reason why diameter does not matter?
I have not tried the 88~98 Chevy rotors yet, but I will. The diameter doesn't matter too much because I can put the caliper where ever I need to.Originally Posted by agjohn02

They are a fixed type of caliper. You really need to have a floating type - the S10 ones are only $15ea.Originally Posted by uglyota
